The Tutoring Center FitchburgRead MoreThe Tutoring Center's instructors follow a proven curriculum method that goes beyond merely helping students with their homework. The Rotational Approach to Learning, developed by Tutoring Center founder Edward S. Thalheimer, PhD, is designed to help students in grades K–12 overcome scholastic issues through one-to-one instruction sessions followed by short independent study sessions where they can apply what they just learned. Not only does this system boost grades in school but it also bolsters students' self-confidence and ability to work effectively alone or if the rest of the quiz-bowl team got suspended. The Tutoring Center's individualized programs use this teaching system and focus on specific subjects, such as reading, math, writing, and pre-SAT prep or study skills.6309 McKee Rd.Fitchburg, WI US
Fit Fun Bootcamps with Dustin MaherRead MoreAfter graduating from the University of Wisconsin with a degree in kinesiology exercise science, ACE-certified trainer and Fit Fun Bootcamps founder Dustin Maher designed MamaTone Fitness to help moms vanquish weight gain after childbirth. Inspired by his own mother—who cooked his siblings and him healthful meals but rarely had enough time to exercise—Maher strives to imbue his clients with the motivation to do both. Whether training new moms, moms-to-be, dads who had moms, or curiously fast sons whose moms found them in the middle of a Kansas corn field climbing out of a spaceship, his group classes and boot camps immerse participants in a full-body workout with moral support from neighboring exercisers.900 E Garfield StMt Horeb, WI US
Personal Gun TrainerRead MoreThe Range Personal Gun Trainer uses local ranges, including Deerfield Pistol Range in the winter and Hope Rod & Gun Club in the spring, summer, and fall. The Rentals Students can bring their own gun, borrow one from an instructor, or rent one from the range. At a Glance Personal Gun Trainer's NRA-certified instructors, Auric Gold and Andrea Alongi, design firearm classes based on the latest Wisconsin gun laws. These include beginner-friendly courses on the state's concealed-carry laws, during which the instructors not only teach how to carry a pistol, they also explain the subtle mental skills required to be a responsible firearms owner. Aside from these custom-designed programs, the gun experts teach lessons straight from the NRA curriculum. During NRA pistol courses, they lecture on safety and then teach hands-on skills for various calibers of firearms.5713 Bellows CircleMadison, Wisconsin US
Tibia Massage SchoolRead MoreMichaela Torcaso, the owner and CEO of Tibia Healing Center, couldn't decide what the world needed more—inner or outer peace—so she decided to give it both. The former begins its incubation in the massage school, where aspiring massage therapists spend 675 hours training for their certification. From there, calm is channeled through graduates' hands and into the minds and muscles of the clients of the Tibia Healing Center, where myriad modalities address everything from injury to stress from trying to balance a checkbook on one's nose. When she's not planting the seeds of inner peace in her clients, Tibia's owner is spreading it outwards through her nonprofit, Creating a Peaceful World, which volunteers healing bodywork services to individuals including the families of murder victims and charity participants. Torcaso also offers scholarships to aspiring massage therapists who need financial assistance to pursue their education.6225 University Ave, Ste 202Madison, WI US
Gainesville Gun PermitRead MoreThe Instructors Every Felton Training Group instructor brings expertise to his or her class—including state and national certifications. The Locations Felton Training Group is all about convenience. They offer their multi-state concealed carry courses online, while their branch locations—including Wisconsin Weapons Permit and Gainesville Gun Permit—allow for in-person training. At a Glance Concealed-carry and general gun laws vary from state to state, but luckily Felton Training Group's instructors are well-versed in the subject. CCW classes are their signature offering, and their classes hit on all the necessary topics—including basic firearms safety, how to choose the right handgun, and fundamental shooting techniques.2110 Rimrock Rd.Madison, WI US
Madison Area Technical CollegeRead MoreSince 1963, this full-service salon located inside the Madison Area Technical College has been helping future hairstylists hone their skills under the supervision of licensed instructors. At 1,200 square feet, the salon is well equipped to handle all manner of salon services, from basic haircuts and permanent waves to facials, waxing, and nailcare, all performed by enthusiastic students eager to show off their talents on real customers instead of reluctant teacher's aides. Customers can rest assured that all services are backed by a guarantee and can be redone to satisfaction within five days, and a range of high-quality styling products available at 10%–30% below their normal retail price helps ensure any new style can be easily sustained at home.3550 Anderson StreetMadison, WI US

With Cloud Expo New York | 12th Cloud Expo [June 10-13, 2013] hurtling towards us, let's take a look at the distinguished individuals in our incredible Speaker Faculty for the technical and strategy sessions at the conference coming up June 10-13 at the Jacob Javits Center in New York City.
We have technical and strategy sessions for you all four days dealing with every nook and cranny of Cloud Computing and Big Data, but what of those who are presenting? Who are they, where do they work, what else have they written and/or said about the Cloud that is transforming the world of Enterprise IT, side by side with the exploding use of enterprise Big Data – processed in the Cloud – to drive value for businesses...?
12TH CLOUD EXPO SPEAKER NAME: David Linthicum
TWITTER: @DavidLinthicum
COMPANY: Cloud Technology Partners
12TH CLOUD EXPO SESSION TITLE: Calculating the True Value of Industry Specific Clouds
Industry-specific clouds are those PaaS, IaaS, and PaaS services that are tailored for a specific vertical, such as transportation, retail, finance, and healthcare. IDC sees a $65 billion market in these industry solutions for 2013, rising to $100 billion in 2016.
The value of industry-specific clouds is that businesses within a vertical can connect to applications, processes, and databases that are pre-defined for that vertical within a public or private cloud. They can extend processes and databases into the business domain, versus defining the data and processes within a generic cloud-based platform.
So, are industry specific clouds right for your business? What options are out there? How do you figure out the ROI? This session will answer those questions, and others allowing you to make the right decisions around the use of this technology.
BRIEF BIOGRAPHY: Listed at one of the Top 100 Bloggers in the Cloud Computing Ecosystem, David (Dave) S. Linthicum is Sr. VP at Cloud Technology Partners and an internationally recognized industry expert and thought leader. He is the author and coauthor of 13 books on computing, including the best-selling Enterprise Application Integration (Addison Wesley). He keynotes at many leading technology conferences on cloud computing, SOA, Web 2.0, and enterprise architecture, and has appeared on a number of TV and radio shows as a computing expert.
In his career, Linthicum has formed or enhanced many of the ideas behind modern distributed computing, including Enterprise Application Integration, B2B Application Integration, and SOA, approaches and technologies in wide use today. For the last 10 years, he has focused on the technology and strategies around cloud computing and how to make cloud computing work for the modern enterprise. This includes work with several cloud computing startups. His industry experience includes tenures as CTO and CEO of several successful software companies, and upper-level management positions in Fortune 100 companies. In addition, he was an associate professor of computer science for eight years and continues to lecture at major technical colleges and universities, including the University of Virginia, Arizona State University, and the University of Wisconsin.
BLOG: www.infoworld.com/blogs/david-linthicum
"Enterprises looking to implement cloud computing typically have numerous issues that they hope the move to the cloud will magically solve. It's no surprise that many of today's IT shops face a huge number of negatives: overly complex enterprise architecture, out-of-control data sprawl, and a huge backlog of app dev work that's not being met, typically in an environment of diminishing budgets.
Newer technology approaches like cloud computing have the potential to make things better. However, it's clear to me that cloud computing won't save you unless you get your own IT house in order first. I see this pattern over and over."

Developing software for the Internet of Things (IoT) comes with its own set of challenges. Security, privacy, and unified standards are a few key issues. In addition, each IoT product is comprised of at least three separate application components: the software embedded in the device, the backend big-data service, and the mobile application for the end user's controls. Each component is developed by a different team, using different technologies and practices, and deployed to a different stack/target - this makes the integration of these separate pipelines and the coordination of software upd...

When it comes to IoT in the enterprise, namely the commercial building and hospitality markets, a benefit not getting the attention it deserves is energy efficiency, and IoT's direct impact on a cleaner, greener environment when installed in smart buildings. Until now clean technology was offered piecemeal and led with point solutions that require significant systems integration to orchestrate and deploy. There didn't exist a 'top down' approach that can manage and monitor the way a Smart Building actually breathes - immediately flagging overheating in a closet or over cooling in unoccupied ho...

You have your devices and your data, but what about the rest of your Internet of Things story? Two popular classes of technologies that nicely handle the Big Data analytics for Internet of Things are Apache Hadoop and NoSQL. Hadoop is designed for parallelizing analytical work across many servers and is ideal for the massive data volumes you create with IoT devices. NoSQL databases such as Apache HBase are ideal for storing and retrieving IoT data as "time series data."

Clearly the way forward is to move to cloud be it bare metal, VMs or containers. One aspect of the current public clouds that is slowing this cloud migration is cloud lock-in. Every cloud vendor is trying to make it very difficult to move out once a customer has chosen their cloud. In his session at 17th Cloud Expo, Naveen Nimmu, CEO of Clouber, Inc., will advocate that making the inter-cloud migration as simple as changing airlines would help the entire industry to quickly adopt the cloud without worrying about any lock-in fears.

Mobile messaging has been a popular communication channel for more than 20 years. Finnish engineer Matti Makkonen invented the idea for SMS (Short Message Service) in 1984, making his vision a reality on December 3, 1992 by sending the first message ("Happy Christmas") from a PC to a cell phone. Since then, the technology has evolved immensely, from both a technology standpoint, and in our everyday uses for it. Originally used for person-to-person (P2P) communication, i.e., Sally sends a text message to Betty – mobile messaging now offers tremendous value to businesses for customer and empl...

As enterprises capture more and more data of all types – structured, semi-structured, and unstructured – data discovery requirements for business intelligence (BI), Big Data, and predictive analytics initiatives grow more complex. A company's ability to become data-driven and compete on analytics depends on the speed with which it can provision their analytics applications with all relevant information. The task of finding data has traditionally resided with IT, but now organizations increasingly turn towards data source discovery tools to find the right data, in context, for business users, d...

[54] FRUIT FEED SYSTEM AND METHOD 11 Claims, 12 Drawing Figs.
Primary Examiner- Evon C. Blunk Assistant Examiner-Alfred N. Goodman Attorney-Allen and Chromy ABSTRACT: A fruit feed system comprising a bulk supply conveyor for rollable fruit articles from which fruit is fed through a discharge opening past a bridge preventing means into an inclined hopper or tray. A row of fruit is elevated from this tray and presented to a selective fruit admitting and rejecting mechanism comprising wobble plates which reject any fruit in the row presented to it which is not properly aligned with one ofthe passages through the wobble plate system. and admits only one fruit between each pair of wobble plates for feeding thereby on demand to the feed end of one ofa plurality of single-file fruit feed mechanisms which incorporate means for feeding one fruit at a time from the discharge end thereofto a suitable processing mechanism such as a grader. a pitter or the like. Means is provided for selectively blocking any one of the single-file feed mechanisms. and when this occurs. the fruit is maintained in the row in an agitated condition. and the fruit between the wobble plates remain in place in agitated condition. ready to feed on demand.

INVICNTOR. EARL R. ANDERSON ATTORNEYS FRUIT FEED SYSTEM AND METHOD DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION In the feeding of field run fruit to one or a plurality of processing mechanisms of various characters, such as graders or pitters, it is desirable that the fruit be fed only on demand, from a bulk supply to the single-file feed mechanisms, and that this fruit be maintained in agitated condition so as to always be ready to feed, but to feed only in response to a requirement for the presence of an additional fruit in a line.
Accordingly, it is a general object of this invention to provide a fruit feed system wherein fruit is received from a bulk supply, is presented to the entrance end of each of a parallel series of single-file feed mechanisms and will be fed to these feed mechanisms only on demand A further object of the invention is to provide a fruit feed system of the above character in which the fruit is fed from bulk in a row and only one fruit to a single file feed mechanism is allowed to be fed from this row into the system.
A further object of the invention is to provide means for agitating the fruit at each critical stage of its feed so that the fruit will always be ready to move in response to requirement for a supply of fruit.
Still another object of the invention is to provide an entrance opening from a bulk feed supply of fruit which has au tomatically operable means for preventing bridging of the opening by a row of fruit.
Still another object of the invention is to provide a fruitfeeding method wherein the fruit is fed in excess in a row to a fruit feeding and rejecting mechanism so that one fruit only is fed to each single-file offruit for selective feeding one by one.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a method of feeding fruit to a single-file fruit-feeding mechanism only on demand of the single-file for more fruit.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following description of a preferred embodi ment thereof, made with reference to the accompanying drawings. in which:
FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of the fruit feed system;
FIG. 2 is a schematic perspective view of the drive for the antibridging means;

FIG. 4 is a sectional view, partially in elevation, taken in a plane indicated by the line 44 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 5 is a horizontal sectional view with certain parts shown in elevation, the view being taken as indicated by the line 5-5 in FIG. 1;
FIGS. 6, 7, and 8 are schematic views illustrating difi'erent positions of the wobble plate feed and control mechanism;
FIG. 9 is a schematic sectional view similar to FIG. 4, illustrating the operation of the fruit feed system;
FIG. 10 is a perspective detail view of one of the antibridging elements; and
FIG. 11 is a perspective exploded view of one of the antibridging elements; and
FIG. 12 is a schematic view ofa modified wobble plate control.
Referring to FIG. 1, the fruit feed system includes a bulk feed mechanism 10 of the merry-go-round" type, having a feed conveyor 11 with its upper active stretch moving in the direction of the arrow in FIG. I and maintained in slanted condition toward the retaining wall 12 at one side of the conveyor, and a feed opening 13 is provided therein between two antibridging rollers 14, referred to more particularly hereinafter, and leading to an inclined hopper 16 between respective sidewalls 17. A return conveyor 15 is also provided.
From the inclined fruit hopper 16 there is provided a fruit elevating mechanism 20, referred to in more detail hereinafter, a fruit admitting and rejecting mechanism 18, and a plurality of single-file feed mechanisms 19 from the lower end of which the fruit is discharged, fruit by fruit, by an elevating fruit discharge mechanism 21, also referred to in greater detail hereinafter.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 4, the fruit row lifting mechanism 20 for feeding fruit from the hopper 16 to the fruit receiving and rejecting mechanism 18 comprises a fixed fruit support member 26, which is disposed in a position inclined toward the discharge end of the apparatus and has a fruit-supporting top surface 26a which is shown as substantially horizontal, but which may also be inclined toward the discharge end or toward the single-file feed trough to enhance gravity flow of the fruit. The width of the front support or top surface 26a is such that only a single fruit row can be supported thereon. Cooperating with the fruit support member 26 is a fruit row lifting bar 27 mounted for reciprocation along an inclined path parallel to the support member 26 and shown in dotted lines at its lowest position in FIG. 9. The member 27 is shown in full lines in intermediate position in FIG. 9 when it has just lifted a row of fruit from the hopper l6, and is shown at its upper position in FIG. 4 where it has elevated the row of fruit in cooperation with the fruit admitting and rejecting mechanism 18. The top surface of the lifting bar 27 is of a width also to lift only a single fruit row. The fruit elevating bar or member 27 is driven by a harmonic drive mechanism 28 and is mounted for sliding movement on a pair of supports 29, each having a slot 30 therein. Only one member 29 is shown. The drive mechanism 28 is driven by a suitable chain and sprocket mechanism from a variable speed motor 32. This harmonic drive mechanism is of the type shown in my copending application Ser. No. 560,966 filed June 22, I966 for FEEDING OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLE ARTICLES.
As explained above, the width of the feed bar 27 is so selected with respect to the size of the fruit being handled that it will only present a single row of fruit to the fruit admitting and rejecting mechanism 18, and if no fruit is to be admitted, the fruit will again be lowered with the bar 27 down to the level of the hopper 16, then represented upon the next lifting movement of the bar 27.
The automatic fruit admitting and rejecting mechanism comprises a series of wobble disks or plates 36 (FIGS. 1, 4, and 5), each of which is mounted for rotative and tilting movement between two control sleeves 37, having oblique flanges 38 at their ends adjacent each wobble disk 36 so as to control and determine the oblique angle of the disk during rotation thereof about the coinciding axes of the shaft 46 and the sleeves 39. The drive for the wobble disks 36 themselves comprises a series of sleeves 39 which are joined by bent rods 46 extending therebetween and through driving apertures 47 in the wobble disks or plates. The endmost sleeve 39a, as seen in FIG. 5, is connected to a sprocket 45 which has a chain and sprocket drive 43 (FIG. I) to a variable-speed motor 44. The plane of rotation-defining sleeves 37 are secured by setscrews 41 to the mounting shaft 42 about which the wobble disks revolve, and this shaft 42 has at one end a drive sprocket 51 fonning part of a chain and drive sprocket connection 52 to a variable-speed motor 53. From the above description it will be seen that the series of sleeves 39 and 39a are joined by the bent rods 46 to provide a first drive assembly to rotate the wobble plates 36 about the coinciding axes of the sleeves 39 and the shafts 42 so that these plates or disks rotate with respect to the control flanges 38. The rotation of the first drive assembly is with respect to a second drive assembly including the shaft 42 to which the sleeves 37 are secured.
Referring to FIGS. 6, 7, and 8, selected positions of the wobble plates during their rotation are shown, FIGS. 6 and 8 showing the extreme amounts of the wobble with respect to the fruit support surface 26a and FIG. 7 showing the plates standing vertically with respect to the surface 26a. Referring to FIG. 7 it will be noted that the wobble plates 36 are shown in section and in a vertical plane, the front half of the wobble plate being omitted to emphasize the perpendicular relation of the plates to the fruit supporting surface 26a. The wobble of the disks 36 provides a back and forth movement of the part of the disks which are adjacent to the surface 26a so that any article between these disks is rolled back and forth as it is engaged by a respective adjacent pair of disks 36. By controlling the relative speed of rotation of the wobble plates 36 with respect to the speed of rotation of and their control members 38 rotating with the shaft 42, the frequency of wobble with respect to front support surface 26a can be controlled. For certain applications the wobble plates may be fixed to the supporting shaft with a desired oblique position.
The operation of the series of wobble plates FIG. 9 with respect to fruit presented thereto by the feed bar 27 is such that due to their direction of rotation, any fruit which is encountered by the periphery of the wobble plates 36 due to the rotation of the wobble plates will be discharged back into the feed trough 16. Any fruit which is substantially centered with respect to the two adjacent wobble plates will not be knocked off but will be admitted and fed to the surface 26a by gravity movement and will then be maintained in agitated condition on the support 26 which is elevated both with respect to the trough l6 and the single-file feed mechanisms 19.
From the elevated fruit support 260 (FIG. 9), the agitated fruit will roll down a V-shaped feed block 61 to a feed trough formed by inclined sidewalls 62 of a character disclosed in said application. The feed trough walls 62 are separated at the bottom to provide a slot in which an agitating belt 63 is mounted, which, as described in said application, operates with its upper stretch moving in a reverse direction to the flow of the fruit so as to separate a group of the fruit from a feeding group at the bottom of the trough, as disclosed in said application. From the feeding group, the fruit is lifted one for one by the elevating blades 64 of a fruit discharge mechanism 21, which is of the character disclosed in said application, and fed to a suitable pocketed conveyor or the like for transmission to a processing mechanism.
Means is provided for interrupting the feed of fruit in any trough and this means comprises a stop member 66 which has a contour at the bottom to fit in the trough and is U-shaped in construction to fit over a mounting bar 67 which extends across the various single-file fruit feed mechanisms and is supported by suitable standards 68 on the sides 69 of the singlefile feed mechanism.
Referring to FIGS. 1, 2, 10, and 11, the antibridging elements 14 are shown as mounted on respective shafts 71, journaled in respective U-shaped brackets 72 and 72a. The bracket 72 is connected to and mounted on the adjustable slide plate 73 so that the position of the right-hand antibridging element 14 can be adjusted and the width of the feed opening can be varied. The left-hand antibridging element has its shaft 71 mounted in fixed bracket 720. Both of the antibridging elements 14 are driven by suitable drive means and can operate in either direction. The interconnecting drive means comprises a chain 74 engaging respective sprockets 75 on the shafts 71 and a takeup sprocket 76 mounted in a slotted bracket 78 so that it can be adjustably clamped in any desired position along the slot of the bracket 78 as the right-hand antibridging element is moved in and out to change the size of the fruit-admitting opening 13. A slot 79 in the bottom of the hopper 16 provides for this adjustment.
Each antibridging element 14 comprises a cylinder (FIGS. and 11) which is pivotally mounted adjacent the top by a pair of bushings 81 secured by screws 82 to a head 83 so that the cylinder comprising the antibridging element 14 is free to pivot about this axis. The head or plate 83 is pivotally mounted about a pin 84 passing through the shaft 71 and thus provides a limited universal mounting for the antibridging cylinder 14 at its top on the shaft 71. The bottom portion of the plate 83 is enlarged and has a series of vertical slots 87 around its periphery to receive a pivot pin 88 for a depending lever 89 which is enlarged at its lower end to provide a projecting surface 91 which engages in a corresponding slot 92 in the wall of the cylinder 14. The lower end 89a of each lever 89 engages in a slot 94 of a plate 95 and is adapted to engage a portion of the cylinder to limit the amount of projecting movement. The plurality of levers 91 are encircled by a resilient 0- ring 93 by which they are yieldably retained in a centralized position on the shaft 71.
If bridging occurs whereby pressure is put on the lower end of an antibridging element or cylinder 14, this lower end will tilt as shown in FIG. 10, causing the antibridging drive elements 91 to project beyond the periphery of the cylinder 14 at this point and impact the fruit to break up any such bridge.
The operation of the system will be described in connection with peaches, as shown in the schematic view in FIG. 9. In this view an ample supply of peaches is shown in the supply hopper 16 and one row of such peaches 100 is shown on the elevating member 27, having been separated from the bulk supply in the hopper 16 to be presented for feeding onto the support surface 260. It will be obvious from the counter clockwise direction of rotation of the wobble disks 36 that any peach on the lifting bar 27 which is encountered by these disks will be ejected and forced back into the hopper 16. Also, any peach which happens to be centered with respect to a pair of the wobble plates 36 and encounters a peach 101 on the sup port surface 26a merely rides up and down with the bar 27 or else is forced off of the lift bar 27. in this view, the peaches have been blocked by the stop member 66 so that there is a continuous file up the trough 21 over the discharge member 61 up to and on the support surface 26a. In effect, a pair of wobble plates 36, the fruit support surface 26a and the lift bar 27 form a fruit control gate which only passes fruit on demand. At the same time all of this file of peaches is being maintained live" by agitation and ready to feed when the blocking member 66 is removed. When this member is removed, the peach 101 will be fed off the support 260 and the next time the lift bar rises, a peach from it will be fed to continue the flow of peaches for discharge in article by article fashion.
Referring to FIG. 12, there is shown schematically a means for varying the amount of wobble of the wobble plates 36 with respect to the fruit support surface 260 by effecting an oscillatory drive of the shaft 42 to which their control elements 38 are secured. Secured to the shaft 42 is a depending slotted arm 183 to which an actuating arm 182 is partially secured by clamp means 184. The actuating arm 182 is pivoted to a disk 181 carried by the shaft of the motor 153. By varying the point of connection of the actuating arm 182 to the slotted arm 183, a desired amount of oscillation can be imparted to the shaft 42 and the oblique control members 38 for the wobble disks 36. Preferably, the oscillation is equal in both directions from the position of the disks 36 shown in FIG. 7.
While I have shown and described a preferred apparatus and method for carrying out this invention, it is apparent that the invention is capable of variation and modification of the form shown so that the scope thereof should be limited only by the proper scope of the claims appended hereto.

A significant negative, and it should not be ignored, is that ZNGA is thus far unable to participate in today's healthy bounce on the NASDAQ. In about four weeks time, you can also expect heavy tax loss selling which will continue to put pressure on ZNGA. There are many more people sitting on losses than profits, shorts notwithstanding. As the bard would say ZNGA is "A Comedy of Errors." While you're at it, throw in tribal greed, insider trading, fraud, and anything vaguely representing integrity or ethics.

Check out the video for wearables on the Android Wear website. It provides the vision of why everyone will want a smartwatch and it's all built into Android Wear. Very, very cool. (Remember we are supposed to be very well integrated with Android.)
Also, when we talked about Android Wear when it came out on 3/18, I don't recall any mention on the board of the Moto 360 Smartphone using Android Wear demonstrated around 3/19. Note: INVN's all time high was 3/21 right after these announcements. We were not in Moto X and we downplayed smartwatches on the call but doesn't mean we definitely aren't in the Moto 360. Not sure how the sale from Google plays in. By the way, the Moto 360 is expected to be released around August. A few of the cool things: round, high quality changeable bands, nice looking watch interface when not using for functional smart purposes, proprietary battery charging. Worth watching a video on that too. Try "Moto 360: It's Time" and "Moto 360 The Verge".
I think you will find these videos make the future look bright.
I was having lunch yesterday with a younger family member. I noticed her smart watch. She is the same tech savvy family member who told me all about NFLX back in 2004 when it was under $50. She has the watch doing a whole bunch of things around health and fitness; steps, calories, heart rate and is going to be putting more apps up on it. She was also the person who just came back from Disney and updated me on the magic band - which appears to be an identify enabler and charge card/pass through for all things Disney - meals, room opener, front of the line, etc. The bands are here already - it's just a matter of loading them up with apps. That's the beauty of INVN w/Android. The 6550's and others are enabled with algorithms and software to drop in and go.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
The LG "android wear" watch is going to be released in June. It doesn't get much coverage as the better looking Moto 360, but it's still an impressive watch. Hopefully, it'll have invensense inside.
Read the article today on Apple. One source says apple for instance is working on having its Iwatch monitor blood glucose levels without having to draw blood (implantable chip?). As someone who has diabetics in his family, that would be huge in itself. One thing that really struck me was Apples CEO being quoted last year as saying sensor technology was "ready to explode".

Earthquakes midfielder Salinas suspended 1 game
Published July 3, 2013 11:56 am
This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2013, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
New York • San Jose Earthquakes midfielder Shea Salinas was suspended for one game and fined an undisclosed amount for elbowing LA Galaxy forward Robbie Keane during a game last weekend.
Major League Soccer announced Salinas' punishment Wednesday.
The league says in a release that Salinas elbowed Keane 'above the shoulders' in the fifth minute of the teams' game last Saturday. A video of the incident appears to show Salinas hitting Keane in the head.

In their first nine games without Nicklas Backstrom, the Washington Capitals picked up nine points. Not a pace good enough to win the Southeast Division if it continued, but not too bad without a leading scorer and MVP.
In the past three games without Backstrom and without the suspended Alex Ovechkin, the Caps picked up three points. It's the same pace, but it doesn't mean they don't miss their captain.
"You always could use him on the ice," coach Dale Hunter said. "He got three games to watch the hockey and stuff. You're always dying to get back in there again."
Ovechkin is indeed dying to play again.
"It's a situation when you missed a game, and I'm tired of practicing," he said.
The Caps will be happy to have their captain back, starting Saturday afternoon at the Montreal Canadiens. Ovechkin has four goals and six assists in 11 regular-season games at Bell Centre.
"He loves playing in Montreal," Caps general manager George McPhee said recently. "He loves the city, he loves the fans up there and I think they enjoy watching him play, and he's looking forward to that game."
And to obviously stop taking part in scratches' skates instead of games. But there might be an advantage to Ovechkin going 13 days between games. That includes the All-Star break and the game that he skipped prior to it. Time off might do a body good.
"Yeah, I think you don't have to wake up at 9 a.m. or 8:30 to go to a practice," he said. "You just to sleep until 11, until 12. Just take some lunch, go to the sun, enjoy the weather."
But life without Ovechkin isn't too sunny offensively. He'll essentially replace Jay Beagle or Joel Rechlicz on the roster and go right back on the power play and eat up likely 18 to 20 minutes.
With Washington hard up for goals lately, this return couldn't come soon enough.
"We have another goal scorer on our team and another good player," forward Marcus Johansson said. "It's obviously a really good thing for the team to have him. It's just another very good weapon to have."
Part of Ovechkin as a weapon is his ability to hit. After a three-game suspension for leaving his feet and charging Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Zbynek Michalek, the question is again there about whether the star will pull back.
"I don't know if it's going to change my game or not," Ovechkin said. "It's a hockey game, it's a physical game. I'm gonna do my best to help this team take some points and make some hits, score some goals."
Brooks Laich insisted he didn't think Ovechkin was a "dirty player" and believes he shouldn't and won't change.
"Ovi is Ovi. Nature vs. nurture, nature's going to win," Laich said. "He's a competitor. He's a fierce competitor on the ice that guys don't want to play against. You can't take the physical nature out of that guy."

The Environment Secretary said young children in developing countries were being put at risk by people opposing modifying crops, which may have elements added to provide vital nutrition to people across the world.
He condemned opponents of genetically modified (GM) food as "wicked" and said opposing food like golden rice, which has vitamin A added that can combat blindness and save lives, would leave children to die.
Mr Paterson criticised members of the anti-GM lobby, which includes campaigners such as Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth.
"It's just disgusting that little children are allowed to go blind and die because of a hang-up by a small number of people about this technology," he told the Independent. "I feel really strongly about it. I think what they do is absolutely wicked."
He said campaigners were scuppering crucial nutrition programmes across the world.
But opponents say GM foods contribute to intensive farming practices and pesticide use that are environmentally damaging.
They also say GM foods will not tackle problems facing agriculture or deliver secure food supplies for the world's growing population and the only benefits are for the big businesses that develop the technology.
Mr Paterson said he had never been told of a single health problem connected to GM farming, despite there being 17 million farmers across the world working on 170 million hectares – an area seven times the size of the UK.
Earlier this year Mr Paterson said GM crops have the potential to save lives and improve the environment. He claims the scrutiny on the crops could mean they would actually be safer.

Extreme thinness can weave itself into the runway ideal, through the inclusion of some unhealthy, rail-thin, often very young models. In response, many in the fashion industry are concerned about the vulnerability of models and are trying to make a difference.

Apple Watch Battery Straps Likely Not to Work
After a few days with the Apple Watch one thing has become clear: many of the pre-announced accessories are going to be complete and utter failures. TL;DR: don't believe anyone that implies you'll be able to happily use your Apple Watch while it's separated from your wrist. Read on for more specifics.
Apple Watch Orders Charged Wednesday Still on Track for 4/24 Delivery
One of the Apple Watch Sport 42mm Space Gray orders we placed here at TMO via Apple Pay didn't see a credit card charge until Wednesday (yesterday), and didn't get a shipment notification until Thursday (today), but is still on track for a Friday, 4/24 delivery. Good news is coming in for many folks who placed early pre-orders on Apple Watches, it seems.
Apple Stores Will Schedule Walk-In Appointments for Apple Watch
Apple Store staff are training to ensure customers have a full jewelry counter-style experience when trying and buying the Apple Watch. Contrary to recent reports, our sources tell us the appointment-only process will accommodate walk-ins using a system similar to one recently instituted at Genius Bars worldwide.
Apple Watch Edition Gets Reference in Phish "Magnaball" Festival's Humorous FAQ
On Wednesday Phish announced their next summer festival, dubbed Magnaball, and true-to-form they published their informative-and-humorous FAQ. In addition to snarky answers to questions like, "Where is the farthest gas station?" and "Can I bring my own sea salt? It's harvested from ancient deposits within the pristine Himalayan mountains. Some consider it the purest salt on Earth," Phish provided this entry:
CAN I BRING MY $20,000 iWATCH?
I guess? It kind of sounds like you just want to brag.
Even if you're not a Phish fan their FAQs are always a fun read. Tickets for Magnaball go on sale Friday at 12pm EDT (or is that EST? We've asked for clarification on the time zone status).

Jony Ive Has "High Regard" For Existing Watches
Jony Ive, interviewed by Nick Foulkes at the Financial Times:
All of us working on the first iPhone were driven by an absolute disdain for the cellphones we were using at the time. That's not the case here. We're a group of people who love our watches. So we're working on something, yet have a high regard for what currently exists.
I bet his high regard stops much shorter if you change the subject to smart watches.
Still, an interesting thought, and one that resonates with me as a watch guy. I'm cautiously optimistic here. Or at least eager to find out all of what Apple has put together.
